Project overview

Moog's Glow Up is a small overhaul of Glow Ink Sacs. I thought glow ink was pretty cool but didn't have enough uses, so I added a bunch of vanilla-feeling features that make it more fun to play around with. Glowing Armor Trims You can find a Glow Trim Template in ocean loot. Use it in a smithing table with Glow Ink to make any armor trim glow. Glowing Banners (Loom) Throw a banner and Glow Ink Sac into the loom to make the last layer glow. If your banner doesn't have any patterns yet, you can make the base layer glow instead. Glowing Decorated Pots (sherd-only) Right-click a decorated pot side with Glow Ink to make that side's sherd pattern glow. This only works on sides that actually have a sherd pattern (not the blank brick sides). Glow Torch A torch that actually works underwater. Pretty handy for exploring. Glow Paste A subtle light source you can stick on block faces. It only shows up when you're nearby and holding Glow Paste in your hand. Revealing Potion A splash potion that drops temporary light blocks where it hits. Useful for exploring dark areas. Glowing Sheep (easter egg) Use Glow Ink on a sheep and its wool will glow. Just a fun little thing I added. Config file: config/glow_up.json You can turn features on/off or tweak light levels and loot chances. Here's the default config: { "enableGlowingArmorTrims": true, "glowTrimLootChance": 0.1, "glowTrimLootTables": [ "minecraft:chests/shipwreck_treasure", "minecraft:chests/underwater_ruin_big", "minecraft:chests/underwater_ruin_small" ], "enableGlowingBanners": true, "enableGlowingDecoratedPots": true, "enableGlowPaste": true, "glowPasteLightLevel": 8, "glowPasteRevealRadius": 10, "enableGlowTorch": true, "glowTorchLightLevel": 15, "enableRevealingPotion": true, "enableGlowingSheep": true } Join our Discord if you want to chat or report bugs!

FreeMinecraftMods decision guide

This mod is most relevant to players looking for Miscellaneous, Mobs on NeoForge, Fabric, Forge. Treat those labels as discovery hints, then verify the exact file and dependency list on the official project page.

The source record was updated on Jul 4, 2026, which is a recent freshness signal. A recent date does not guarantee support for every loader or Minecraft version, so still inspect the current file list.

What to verify before choosing a file

  • Confirm that the file is published by the credited creator on the linked official source.
  • Match the Minecraft version exactly instead of relying only on a broad category label.
  • Read dependencies, incompatibilities, and changelog notes before updating an existing instance.
  • Match the loader or server platform and its required version. Forge and NeoForge are not interchangeable.
  • Back up worlds and configuration files before testing the project in a long-term save or public server.
